It never even occurred to me. My family is full of wakko's myself included so I was going to handle each one on their own sort of so they didn't get all freaky on me, but I figure I'm too old and life is too short to mess around like that anymore. Thanks for the advice!

" i dunno...", that is the most fustrating of all!!
how can you not know we're talking about our family history here!!
that is why i sent out the questionaire, to ease my fustration, not to mention that i should now own stock in at&t given the number of long distance calls i have made to hear the response "i dunno...". OMG!!

gee......that felt good!! LOL

anyway, keep at it, there are members of this site who are very experienced, in fact, without their help, i would still be at square one.

p.s. do any homework peter gives you, even though he may know the answers, you'll learn something new, and i'm not referring to family history!

Also, I have free long distance.. it helps seeing as all of my family and friends are so spread apart... it helps TREMENDOUSLY! Especially when my cousin in NYC almost cut her finger off and needed me to send her money cause she didn't have insurance and she's broke cause she is paying her way through Parsons..

Yes I've seen the manifests at this point, the problem with that is that my GG grandfather may have been lying because he left a wife and three kids in Italy. My cousin and I are working on getting my other cousin to answer his email so that he can tell us if that was true or not.

Thanks for the link!!
